Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag's legacy will once again be represented on the international stage, with their sons earning places in India's Under-19 setup. Anvay Dravid and Aaryavir Sehwag have both been selected for the upcoming U-19 series against Australia, which gets underway on September 18.

BCCI selection committee has announced separate squads for the three Youth ODIs and two multi-day matches. Lakshya Raichandani will captain the ODI team, while Yashbardhan Singh Chauhan has been handed the leadership role for the longer-format games.

The three Youth ODIs between India and Australia, along with the first multi-day fixture, will be played in Rajkot. The second multi-day match will take place in Ahmedabad.

Aaryavir, the son of former India opener Virender Sehwag, has earned his first India U-19 selection. The 18-year-old is currently featuring in the Delhi Premier League and will be part of the ODI squad for the Australia series.

His selection adds another chapter to the Sehwag family's association with Indian cricket, although Aaryavir will now look to establish his own identity at the junior international level.

Anvay, the younger son of former India captain and coach Rahul Dravid, has retained his spot in the U-19 ODI squad. The 17-year-old wicketkeeper-batter was also part of India's junior team during its tour of Sri Lanka last month.

During that trip, Anvay featured in two Youth ODIs and produced scores of 14 and 87, including an impressive half-century-plus knock.

Both Anvay and Aaryavir have been selected only for the ODI squad, rather than the multi-day team.
